We're dividing 506851 by 48 
Our goal is to divide 506851 by 48.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 50 / 48

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 50 by 48, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 48 from 50 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
48 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 268 / 48

Let's proceed to step 4:
48 goes into 268 5 times with a remainder of 28.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 105.0
Deduct 240 from 268 and we're left with 28.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 285 / 48

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 285 by 48, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1055.0
Subtract 240 from 285 to get 45.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 451 / 48

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 451 by 48, we get 9 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10559.0
Subtracting 432 from 451 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
190 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10559.3
If we subtract 144 from 190, we get 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
48 goes into 460 9 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10559.39
Subtracting 432 from 460 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 48 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10559.395
Subtract 240 from 280 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 400 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10559.3958
If we subtract 384 from 400, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10559.39583
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
48 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10559.395833
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 10559.395833 and a remainder of 1.6e-06.
